Alternate
Rogue Expanded

In 5e, the Rogue, while balanced, lacks interesting
decisions in and out of combat. For some, this is okay,
but for players that would enjoy a more tactical experience, the Alternate Rogue looks to capture the fantasy of playing a Rogue without reducing it to simplistic play loop. Included here are additional options for the Alternate Rogue class:

Advanced Devious Exploits. The Exploits included here may be harder to learn, or require a specific master to teach. Advanced Exploits are more fantastical in nature, and are balanced based on spells that are available to casters in 5e.

Roguish Feats. The feats included here allow all player characters to share in the abilities of the Alternate Rogue.

Additional Roguish Archetypes. Included here are eight more Archetypes for Rogues to choose from at 3rd level.

Advanced Devious Exploits

Listed below are additional Devious Exploits available to the Alternate Rogue. Each time you gain a level, you can replace one Exploit you know with another Exploit of your choice.

Flash Bomb

Prerequisites: 5th-level, alchemist's supplies proficiency
As an action, you can expend one Exploit Die to use a set
of alchemist's supplies to craft one Flash Bomb. It retains potency until the end of your next long rest, but you cannot regain this Exploit Die until this Flash Bomb is spent.

With the Use an Object action, a creature can throw this Flash Bomb at a point it can see within 60 feet. It explodes on impact, forcing all creatures that can see within 20 feet to make a Constitution saving throw or be Blinded for 1 minute. Any creature with the sunlight sensitivity feature makes this initial saving throw with disadvantage.

A Blinded creature can repeat this saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.

Martial Focus

Prerequisites: 5th-level
As part of a weapon attack you can expend an Exploit Die to gain advantage on your attack roll. You can use this Exploit after you roll, but before you know if you hit or miss.

Pinning Shot

Prerequisite: 5th-level, Strength or Dexterity of 13
When you hit a creature with a ranged or thrown weapon attack, you can expend an Exploit Die and force it to make a Strength or Dexterity saving throw (its choice). On a failure, add the Exploit Die to the damage and its speed becomes 0.

As an action, the creature can make a Strength check, and on a success the effects of this Exploit end.

Redirect

Prerequisites: 5th-level
When a creature you can see misses you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to expend an Exploit Die and force it to attack another creature of your choice within range of its attack, adding your Exploit Die to its attack roll.

Bewildering Blow

Prerequisites: 9th-level, Strength or Dexterity of 15
When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expend an Exploit Die and strike with precise force, dealing additional damage equal to two rolls of your Exploit Die and forcing it to make a Wisdom saving throw.

On a failed save, it cannot take reactions and on each of its turns it must move half its speed in a random direction then make a melee attack against a random creature in range.

To determine the random direction and attack, assign a direction (or target) to an appropriate die and roll it. For the direction, use a d8, and for target use a d4 or larger.

This lasts for 1 minute, but it repeats this saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.

Incite Violence

Prerequisites: 9th-level, Deception proficiency
You can expend an Exploit Die to spend 1 minute giving a cunning speech to a number of creatures that can hear you equal to your level. At the conclusion, creatures who heard the entire speech must make a Wisdom saving throw.

All creatures who fail this saving throw become hostile toward a creature or location of your choice for 10 minutes.

Recruit Mercenary

Prerequisites: 9th-level, Intelligence or Charisma of 15
You can expend an Exploit Die and spend 1 hour to recruit a humanoid Mercenary from a settlement you currently occupy. For this Exploit to work, there must be a willing humanoid, such as a bounty hunter, adventurer, or other sellsword in a settlement of significant size, as determined by the DM.

You choose to recruit a Brute or Scout, which determines certain traits in their stat block. They use the Mercenary stat block below and roll their own initiative in combat. On their turn, they do their best to follow any orders you have given. If not, they will defend themselves to the best of their ability.

The Mercenary remains in your service until you dismiss them, they abandon you, or they die. You cannot regain this Exploit Die until the Mercenary leaves your service.

You can only have one Mercenary in your service at a time. Recruiting another causes others to abandon you.

Bonus Actions

Brutal (Brute). The Mercenary uses its bonus aciton to make a Shove, Grapple, or unarmed strike attack.

Cunning (Scout). The Mercenary uses its bonus action to take the Disengage, Hide, or Search action.

Agonizing Strike

Prerequisites: 13th-level, Dexterity of 17
When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expend an Exploit Die to strike as to inflict crippling pain and force the creature to make a Constitution saving throw.

On a failure, its speed is halved; it has disadvantage on all attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws; and to cast a spell it must first succeed on a Constitution saving throw or its spell slot (or use of that feature) is wasted.

This effect lasts for 1 minute, but the creature can maks a Constitution saving throw without disadvantage at the end of each of its turns, ending this effect success.

Clandestine Source

Prerequisite: 13th-level, knowledge of Thieves' Cant
While in a settlement of sufficient size, you can expend one Exploit Die and spend 1 hour using the Thieves' Cant found throughout the settlement to track down a significant figure of the criminal underworld to ask questions of.

Should the DM decide that such a figure exists within the settlement, you must approach them alone, and must make a DC 15 Intelligence or Charisma saving throw (your choice) to convince them to grant you an audience. On a failed save, you are reduced to 0 hit points, and your body is left unconscious in an alleyway or gutter somewhere in that settlement.

On a successful save, you have 5 minutes to ask the figure up to five questions. The figure answers each question with one word, such as "yes," "no," "maybe," "never," "irrelevant," or "unclear" (if they do not know the answer). If a one-word answer would be misleading, the figure might instead offer
a short phrase as an answer to that question.

Once you use this Exploit in a settlement, regardless if you
                                                        succeed or fail on your initial
                                                               ability check, you cannot
                                                                       use it in there again
                                                                             until 7 days have
                                                                                           passed.

Quick Draw

Prerequisites: 13th-level, Dexterity of 17
As a bonus action, you can expend an Exploit Die to enter a heightened state of focus which requires concentration. For the next minute, you can use your bonus action, including the bonus action used to activate this Exploit to make two ranged weapon attacks so long as you have ammunition.

This Exploit's effects don't stack with the swift quiver spell.

Contingency Plan

Prerequisites: 17th-level, Intelligence of 19
At the end of a long rest, you can expend one of your Exploit Dice to put an undisclosed contingency plan into place. Until you activate this Exploit again you cannot regain this Exploit Die. You can only have one contingency plan at a time.

As an action, you can reveal your previously undisclosed plan (which you make up at the time of its reveal) and make a DC 20 Intelligence check. You may add a skill the DM deems appropriate to your plan. On a success, your secret plans and preparations take effect perfectly as you described them.

The cost to execute the plan cannot exceed 5,000 gold, and the effects should not exceed those of a 7th-level spell.

For example, you might reveal that you secretly purchased a perfect spell scroll last time you were in a town, or that you paid a mercenary band or airship to come to your rescue.

Mortal Blow

Prerequisites: 17th-level
When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expend an Exploit Die to strike with supernatural accuracy at its most vulnerable point. It must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or it is considered vulnerable to the damage of this attack. If you had advantage on your attack roll, it makes this Constitution save with disadvantage.

Regardless if the creature succeeds or fails on this saving throw, it takes bonus damage equal to four times your Exploit Die. If this attack reduces the target to 50 hit points or fewer, it falls Prone and is Stunned until the start of its next turn.
                       A creature can expend a Legendary Resistance
                                                               to avoid this effect.

However, you can't use any special Senses you have, like Darkvision, unless the Beast Shape has that Sense.

Sneak Attack. In Beast Shape, you can apply your Sneak Attack bonus to your natural weapon attacks. However, you must meet all other normal conditions for Sneak Attack.

This feature does not apply to Diminutive Beast Shapes.

Casting Spells. You cannot cast spells while you are in a Beast Shape. However, you can maintain your concentration on spells and other abilities you used before you Shifted.

Learning New Beast Shapes. You can learn new Beast Shapes by using an action to touch a living, non-hostile Beast of a CR 1/4 or lower and expending an Exploit Die. However, you must choose one of the Beast Shapes you already know to replace with the knowledge of this new Beast Shape.

Surgeon Exploits

3rd-level Surgeon Archetype feature
You learn certain Exploits at the Rogue levels noted in the table below. These don't count against your total number of Exploits Known and can't be switched upon gaining a level.

Anatomical Studies

3rd-level Surgeon Archetype feature
You are a dedicated student of the sciences of medicine and anatomy. You gain proficiency in both Medicine and Nature, and you make Intelligence (Medicine) checks. Also, during a long rest, you can spend 1 hour restocking Healer's Kits, and they regain a total number of uses equal to your Rogue level.

When you use first aid, you can expend a use of a Healer's Kit to grant the target advantage on its Hit Die rolls.

Surgical Skill

3rd-level Surgeon Archetype feature
Your knowledge of anatomy allows you to strike with deadly precision. Your weapon attack rolls against Beasts, Giants, Humanoids, Monstrosities, and Undead score
a critical hit on a roll of 19-20 on the d20.

You can also use your bonus action to
make a Medicine check or to use the
first aid Exploit on a creature.

Cultivated Immunity

7th-level Surgeon Archetype feature
You have inoculated yourself against common ailments. You gain resistance to poison and necrotic damage, and you have advantage on saving throws to resist poison and disease.

Surgical Strike

7th-level Surgeon Archetype feature
Your increased knowledge of anatomy and its applications in battle allow you to cripple your foes with ease. When you use one of your Surgeon Exploits with Cunning Strike, its cost is reduced by 1d6 (to a minimum of 0d6) if the target is a Beast, Giant, Humanoid, Monstrosity, or Undead.

You can also expend two uses of a Healer's Kit to cure one creature you touch of the Poisoned condition or one disease.

Fantastical Anatomy

13th-level Surgeon Archetype feature
You have learned much about the anatomy of the creatures of the multiverse. Your weapon attack rolls against all creatures except for Constructs, Oozes, and Plants score a critical hit on a roll of 18 through 20 on the d20.

In addition, the benefits of Surgical Strikes now applies to all creature types except for Constructs, Oozes, and Plants.

Expert Surgeon

17th-level Surgeon Archetype feature
Your medicinal abilities are nearly supernatural. You can use each of the abilities below once between each long rest:

Deadly Contagion. When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can force it to make a Constitution saving throw against your Exploit save DC. On a failure, it suffers an effect of your choice from the contagion spell.

Medicinal Miracle. As an action, you can touch a creature which died within the past minute and instantly return it back to life with 1 hit point. This effect cannot return a creature to life if it died of old age, and it doesn't restore missing parts.

Surgical Stimulation. Over the course of 1 minute, you can perform a surgical procedure on one creature which
    imparts the benefits of the regenerate spell on it.
